Praying for the Walk

It is my time to pray...

This weekend there are 36 ladies on a retreat called the Walk to Emmaus. During the 72 hours of the retreat they are covered in prayer. Members of the Emmaus Community sign up for half hour times slots to pray. Now it is my turn.

Dear Heavenly Father, I lift up the ladies of Walk #194 to you. I know that You are there with them and that you are blessing them during this special weekend. I thank You for all You are doing - for the hearts that are being healed, for the forgiveness that is being received, for the joy that is filling that place, for the tears that are being shed and for the laughter that is being shared. Oh, I know that a wonderful time is being had by all! Lord, please continue to watch over the pilgrims, the team members and the clergy. If there are hearts that have not opened yet, I pray that You would gently move them. I pray for the community members that will be traveling this evening to join together in worship and prayer. Please keep them safe. I pray for the family members of the pilgrims and the team. I pray for everything at home to run safely and smoothly and that you would prepare them for their loved ones return. You are such a mighty and awesome God and I thank you for the Walk to Emmaus and the way you have used it to bless so many people and to help so many grow in their relationship with You. I pray for each person that will be sponsored by one of the current pilgrims on this walk, and for the people they will sponsor, and on and on and on. I pray that You will be forever glorified in the lives that have been touched through this ministry. In Jesus' Name I Pray. Amen.
